2 Peter 2 20-2 Peter 2 22
For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.But it has happened to them according to the true proverb,“ The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and“ the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”

Proverbs 26:11
As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.

Matthew 12:43-45
When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.Then he says,‘ I will return into my house from which I came out,’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”

Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall.
